"As the United States did not cute into this convention or 'into an treaty relating to the subject, thi government is unable' to nndcrsand on what grounds it was thereafter at tempted to conlcr the mandate with nut the agreement of the United "States. It is manifest that the league of nations was without authority to mim me cuinei Mates ana mat me confirmation of the mandate in aues tion and , th& (definition of its terms oy the counaiL ot, the IcaKtic of na tions in Deecmbrr, 1920, cannot be regarded as liatnig efiicacy with respect to the United States.

"It should be ijoted 'hat this man date not only recites article 119 of . the treaty of Versailles, that 'Ger many renounced in favor of the orin cipal allied and associated powers, all her rights over her oversea pos sessions, including the groups of Is iJnds in the Pacific ocean, lying north oi the equator, but also re cites that the principal allied and associated powers agreed that in ac cordance with article 22, part 1 (covenant of the league of nations) t;l the said treaty, a mandate should l:e conferred on his majesty, the em peror ot Japan to administer the said islands and have proposed that thn mandate should be formulated as set forth. While tfn's last quoted, re cital, as has been pointed out- in previous communication;! by this ijovcriiinciit, is inaccurate in its terms, inasmuch aslhe United States, as one of the principal allied and associated powers, had not so agreed and proposed, the recital again rec ognizes the necessity of the partici pation of the United States to make the proposed disposition effective. "As, in the absence of any treaty with the United States relating to the matter, there was no decision May 7. 1919, binding the United States, it is deemed, to be unneces sary again to eamintj thi brief min utes of the meetingj&f the, supreme council on that dsIt may, how ever, be proper to sa$ that the, min utes of this meeting, although obvi ously without any finality, could not properly be construed without due regard to the other 'proceedings of the supreme council and without taking account of the reservations which President Wilson had made in the previous meetings of the supreme council on April 21. April 30 and May 1, 1919. Attitude of ' Wilson. . "The attitude of President Wilson is sufficiently shown by the follow ing statement he made to the' De partment of State March 3, 19.il: . " 'I beg to return the note-received yesterday from the Japanese govern ment, iv-hich I have read in relation ' to the' proposed mandate covering the island of Yap. " 'My first information of a con tention that the so-called decision of May 7, 1919, by the council of four, assigned to Japan a mandate for Yap, was conveyed to me by Mr. Norman Davis in October. I then informed him Thad never consented to the assignment of Yap to Japan.' " 'I had not previously given parti cular attention to the wording of the council's minutes of May 7, 1919, which were only recently called to my attention. I had on several oc casions prior to the date mentioned, made specific reservations regarding Yap and had taken the position that it should not be assigned, under man date to anv one power, but should be internationalized for cable pur poses. 1 assumed this position would be duly considered in connection with the settlement' of the cable ouestion and that it therefore was no longer a matter of consideration in connection with" the peace negotia tions. I never abandoned or modi fied this position in respect to Y ap and. I did not agree way , y- t any other time, that Yap should be included in the ass.nmcnt of mandates to Japan.' Agreements Conditional. "'s a matter of fact, all agree ments arrived at regarding assign ment of mandates were conditional, on a subsequent agreement being reached as to the specific terms ot the mandates and further, on their acceptance by each of the principal allied and associated powers. 1 he consent of the United States is es sential, both as to assignments of mandates and the terms and pro visions of the mandates, after agree ment as to their assignment or allo cation. ,. "'The consent of the United - i - States has never been given Oil I cither point as to Yap. Wt from the expressed pur- i pose of President WUson in relation to Yap, inasmuch a'S the proceedings of the supreme council.

Its position was subse quently stated at length.' ' Asks Reconsideration. ."It is a cause 'of regret to this government, that despite this protest, there should have been any attempt to pass upon dr.afts or mandates purporting to deal with the Pacific islands, including Yap, and that a mandate should have been approved or attempted to be put into effect, which, while purporting to be made in the name f the United -Slates, aj without thrassent of the" United Unofficial FoHowing are the totals for all of 161 precincts in the city: ' James C Dahlman 21,431 I Dan B.

This government trusts this action which it must assume was tak en under a misapprehension, will be reconsidered. J ii particular as no treaty has been concluded with the United States relating: to Yap and as no one has been useil to cede or nurender the right or interest of the -United States on the island, this government must insist that it has not lost its right or interest as it existed prior to any acion of the supreme council or of the league of nations and can not recognize the allocation of the island or the validity of the mandate to Japan. - In this view, this eovcrnment deems it to be unnecessary at this time to consider terms of the so called 'C mandates or the discus sion with respect thereto. Ihis government., as has been stated in previous communications, seeks no exclusive interest in Yao and has no desire to secure any privileges without having similar privileges accorded other powers, in cluding, of course, Japan and rely ing upon the sense of justice of the government of Japan and of the gov ernments of the other allied and associated powers, this government looks with confidence to a disposi tion of the matter whereby just in terests of all may be properly con served." Allies Accused of Bad Faith by United States (Continued From Page One.) only in the Versailles treaty but in the mandate terms, that President Wilson in the sessions of the su preme council made the reservation that Yap should be internationalized and that the councils allocation of Yap to; Japan is not binding on the United, States because this nation has not fatiffed-ithe Versailles treaty under authority of which such allo cation was made. Britain May Aid America To Settle Pacific Problem By JOHN STEELE. - Chlcaga Tribune Cablft, Copyright. London, April 6. From an authoritative source it is stated that Great Britain may assist America in the settlement of the Pacific prob lems and especially those concern ing the control of the Island of Yap. According to the informant, Prims Minister Lloyd George is consider ing mediation between Japan and America in the interests of harmony and whether it would not be wise to council Japan to be sensible, in the face of America's claims in the Pacific. The difficulty to be overcome is, the fact that Yap was awarded to Japan by the treaty of Versailles, with at least passive consent by former President Wilson, and in the eyes of the European powers Japan has a legal right to stand on the let ter of the bond. At the same time British states men now recognize that President Wilson was repudiated by America in the last election and that he never had the power to bind her to any stipulations. , Because of this, Great Britain is considering "advising" Japan not to stand on the letter of the law? but to consent to reopen the whole mat ter in the interest of world peace and justice.- r 1 Such 'advice to Japan from Great Britain would be equivalent to a command and if the policy to be suggested was adopted, Japan would climb down from her stand.

It is believed to be in the cards that the Com mittee of 5,000 and Commissioner Ure will make their peace and that Ure may be added to 'the six can didates nominated by this organiza tion. With such a line-up of seven can didates, it has been proposed that a new organization should be formed for the election campaign: A similar situation occurred three years ago. The Committee of 5.000 at that time nominated Ed P. Smith, J. Dean Ringer, R. N. Tow!, W. G. Ure and Henry F. Wulf, and after the primary those five nominees be came identified with the "Allied Can didates," with H. B. Zimman as the sixth candidate and with W. F. Bax ter as the general manager of the campaign. Zimman Not Ready. The ticket headed by Dahlman put over five candidates on Tuesday Dahlman, Dunn, Hummel, Hop kins and Koutsky. It is probable that Commissioner Zimman will be taken on this Dahlman ticket for ths election, athough Mr. Zimman is not ready to commit, himself on ' thi? pliase of the situation. This would leave Commissioner Butler without organized identifica tion. He made the race alone three years ago and led the. field. Before this primary he was ap proached by promoters of the Dahl man ticket, but declined to be openly affiliated with that group for the pri mary. Some orosrnosticators be lieve stranger things hav happened than that of seeing Zimman ami Butler on the Dahlman ticket during the forthcoming electi6n "'campaign Dunn vs Ringer. Toll n HoDkins. 10th on the list of nominees, was endorsed with John Kilmartin bv an organization ot ex- srrvice" men. Hookins was also on the Dahlman ticket: Kilmartin, who landed outside .of the nominations, did not have more than the one en dorsement. Henrv W. Dunn and T. B. Hum mel ran close toeether for third and fourth places, th former being one of the present" police judges and the latter being a tormer city com missioner, in charge of the park de Dartment. which work he would like to resume after the election .next month.- Judge Dunn has his eye on the position of police commissioner, and so has the present lncumoem, j. Dean Ringer. Sole Labor Nominee. ' John F. Murohv. one of the "5,000" candidates, was the only labor can didate within the list of nominees. The other labor candidates were Henry F, Wulf, Beri Short, T. P. Reynolds, Charles A. Ries, R. R. Butzer and John B. Trainor. Rey nolds, Short and Wulf trailed Noyes, Madden and Wharton, who appear to be just outside of the successful 14. Noyes and Wharton were the defeated Dahlman ticket candidates. Walter S. Jardine and A. C. Kugel, defeated aspirants three years ago, did not come within sight of enough votes for nominations. Julius S. Cooley showed . up stronger than he did three years ago. At this primary he received. 791 votes, about three times his vote at the last city primary. ,, Tell Another Story.

Consolidation of Soldier Relief Bureaus Urged Commission Headed by Charles Dawes Finishes Probe Into Work for Dis abled War Veterans. Washington. D. C. April 6. Con solidation under one head of all gov eminent bureaus dealing with ex soldier relief to function directly under the president will be the chief recommendation made to President Harding by the special commission which concluded its inquiry into arovernment relief work today Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, chair man, announced drafting of the re port would begin tomorrow. The new bureau , will be known probably as "the-veterans' rehabili tation administration." Its head will be selected by Presi dent Harding. Commission members agreed that the crux of the problem centered in the phrase "veteran rehabilitation." While it was a single problem, they said, it naturally was divided into three needs which must be fulfilled for the ex-soldiers by the govern ment. They were those of a physi cal nature; those of finance and those dealing with industrial phases. Heretofore these problems have been delegated to three organiza tions, the public health service for medical treatment, the bureau of war risk for financial support and the board, of vocational education for in dustrial rehabilitation. These organizations will be grouped, according to the decision, under a central authority eliminating duplication and conflict. The commission's findings, it was said, . will show serious- conditions with reference to shortage of hospital facilities, especially as affecting tubercular and mental cases. This condition will be cited to illustrate the need for new hospitals, for which an appropriation probably will be asked. New legislation will also be asked by the commission to accomplish consolidation of the bureaus and centralizatioifof the field service. Cammander Galbraith pledged the Americao Legion's support to the central bureau, a did the chiefs of all the government bureaus affected and officers of the Red Cross. May Force Farmers To Pool Grain Crops (Continued From Page One.) those now in use, but differing only in that they are on a co-operative basis, are provided in the commit tte's plan, also for use at option. Opinion Divided. Some members of the committee of 17 viewed the demand for com pulsory pooling as supported large ly by radicals. Others at the close of the meeting, expressed themselves in: favor of the plan. "We determined to leave the de cision of pooling to the members," Clifford Throne, a member of the committee and its attorney, said. "This will leave pooling to the acid test and if it is the best meethod of marketing grain it will survive." To tr, Mr. Moser of Texas re plied optional pooling would come as a bombshell to Texas. There, he said, they were pooling on a 100 per cent busjiel basis. "To some, of us, the pooling idea is the heart of co-operation," Mr. Sapiro declared in seconding Mr. Moser's compulsory pooling amend ment "It is the keypoint of-rfhe contract." "If you keep this clause for op tional pooling in the contract, there will be no pooling. At least one- "third of the wheat offered is needed in a great national pool. If you want to do the great thing, give pooling a chance. This contract gives it none. The inertia of men will fight against it." Must Be Pushed. "If pooling is not pushed it will not succeed," Mr. Hewitt declared. "Give this third; until you have done that you cannot apply the acid test to pooling. It is the fundamental thing in the movement." Grain growers from 23 states were represented at the conference, which was called by the committee of 17 after more than six months' work on a national marketing plan. Delegates numbering 105 are in at tendance. If the movement is backed by the farmers, Mr. Thome, said, it would develop into the largest single ex ample of co-operating marketing in the world, handling annually sev eral hundred million dollars worth of grain. Tampico General to Confer With Harding Mexico City, April 6- -Gen.
